An enthusiastic member of the journal
lstiC fraternity has published the follow
ing:
Brethren of the press: We have a plan.
which, II put In operation, will, We be
lleve, result in making au independent
fortune for each and every publisher III
the United States, and enable all of us to
vie with railroad Ii agnates IN ease and
opulence. 1t is this: Let us Join hands
and induce Senator CulOm to have a bill
passed by congress providing that all
publishers IN the country shall charge the
same rate per hundred for all kinds of
bill printing and commercial work
whether a large or small number is print
ed that we shall be paid the same rate
per hundred for ten thousand or twenty
thousand bills rs for single thousand
That would be about the fattest thing for
the press that we can conceive of If anv
publisher can suggest anything better we
shall be glad to hear from him. 1t Is ex,
aCtlY, identically the thing that Senator
Cullom, in the long and short haul clause
OF his interstate commerce bill, has done
for the railroads of this country. Jour
nalists are certainly entitled to as fair
treatment at the hands of the public
senator as railroads shark and monopol-
lists. They NAV not have done as much
to put him in position and keep him
there as the SAID sharks, yet some OF
them did their best, and that's ali any
body can do. Therefore we think our
plan may not Prove entirely imprac-
ticable.

The model costumes sent to the Health ex-
hibition in London were the worst knock
down arguments against reform dress of any
kind-the designs being of such infinite ugli-
ness that even reformers refused to fit them
selves out in the hybrid attire, between that
of aouave and a vivandiere, with tags and
fringes in the worst possible taste. and cost
ing little more than Redfern gown of neat
fashion No woman born could make such a
guy of herself. even for the palm of martyr
dom Still she might wear union and under
garments, divided skirt. knitted petticoats
cork soled boots, wooden Jaeger" corset and
gored dress hung from the shoulders forever,
and yet be heard making inquiries when the
martyrdom was to begin. Short of getting
herself up like a subscription chrome in blue
cutawBy, yellow silk skirt and red continua-
tions, there is no comfortable dress woman
may not wear, even into the presence of her
majesty, provided she knows how to carry
herself. The days of miracles and OF martyr
dom are past, and there is no use in getting
up martyrdom dresses, for the reformers
won't wear them New Yorb Mail and Ex-
press.

A neishboring paper has a sentimental
reporter. Inspired aud evidently over
come by the pleasant weather OF the past
few days, he pens the following pathetic
lines:
Keep your eyes open, neighbor and
observe the rapid unfolding of nature s
charms. All is quiet, but how intensely
active is the dear dame, Nature For
weeks past vital potencies have been
darting from earth through the various
arterial ducts OF the trees paving the way
for the rich grapiture that soon will cover
the now naked branches; the impulse is
being gwen through the suns powerful
influence to roots and tubers and seeds,
and each is preparing to send up, or has
already sent up stalks, and leaves after
their kind The vegetable world dormant
through the period of snow and ice is now
fully revived and the next two weeks will
show marvels infinitely excelling Alad-
din's palace, or the garden of Hesperides
Look and marvel and be glad that you
have eyes to see.

The MAYORS bump of self conceit must
be very largely developed if be thinks
that the words thus spoken in the coun
Gil can in the least change public regard
as to Eckhart's management of police af
fairs. A consciousness that public senti-
ment was against Eckhart as chief of
police must have led the mayor to make
the statement he did Otherwise why he
did single out Eckhart? Why did he
deny few words of commendation to
Michael Horatio, that noble Roman who
has directed the toiers on the highways for
two years, and whose oratory was so
largely instrumental in securing W. H.
Gest the congressional nomination? Why
did he thus neglect Horatio? Why
further did he not hold up to the ad>
miring gaze of bewildered councilman,
NJ. T. Stafford, and say that he had
| been the best superintendent of water
works the city ever had? Why did bt
not bring Washington L. Sweeney in
from his lonely roost at the toll gate, and
shower upon him praise in his own
peculiar way? Why did not the city
seavenger, the public welgher, the city
sexton come in for their show!

MIR. SHEEHANS VIEWS.

William F. Sheehan, of Buffalo, was the
recognized leader of the minority In the late
Assembly. '"The Courier" OF that city sent
one Of its reporters to interview him on his
return home and prints long account Of
what be had to say in regard to the Legsla-
ture. II is to be hoped for his own sake that
Mr.. Sheehan will rcpudiato some Of the words
which arc put into his mouth, for il he is to
be credited with using them then he is to be
regarded as simply a narrow, ridiculous
dcmagoguc He is represented, for instance.
az asserting that '"they (the Republicans
passed no bills which tho public really wished
them to pass" Something Is to be pardoned
to partisanship, but man capable Of making
so reckless statement rs that Is not man
whose opinion Is worth a straw.
II Mr.. Shcchan will put himself In com
muncaton with the reputable people of Eric
County. tho people who conserve it's best in
terests, he will find that the Crosby and the
Vcdder bills met with their hearty approval.
II he will consult the boatmen, the forwarders.
the business element in his district, he will
discover that the Canal Improvement bill was
a measure which they Greatly wished to see
pass. II he will go around among the tax
PAYERS Of Buffalo he will not be long in con-
vincing himself that they arc delighted with
tho important piece Of legislation which lowers
the tax-ratc and thus takes of over 100000
from tho public burdens. The Republicans
passed no bills which the public really wished
them to pass I" On reflection does not Mr.
Sheehan think he would Go well to rise to o
question Of privilege and ask unanimous con-
sent to withdraw this prepoSterous libel upon
tho Legislature
And while Mr. Shcehln is on his feet perhaps
he will state his opinion Of the minonty's
record in tho Legislature Of 1857 Is is
charged that it was minority which only
sneczed when tho rum power took snuff. What
does Mr. Shcehan say to the indictment Hc
and his friends steadily resisted the passage
Of the great reform bills Of the session which
originated with tho Republicans. Why
Was II because there were measures pending
Of Democratic origin which Democratic lcgis
lators considered to 10 better adapted TO pro-
mote the cause Of temperance and stop the
growth OF the saloon evil IL so, what were
the measures Mr.. Shcehan has the floor
